Video Reference
The flexible reference system in the switcher allows you to use an Interlaced video format as the reference to operate the switcher in a video format of the same frequency. Choosing a progressive video format as a reference limits you to operating the switcher only in that same video format and frequency. For example, if you have a 1080i 59.94Hz input reference you can operate the switcher in 720p 59.94Hz, but not 1080i 50Hz. However, if you have a 720p 59.94Hz input reference, you can only operate the switcher in 720p 59.94Hz. If you need to change frequencies, you can have multiple input references and switch between them as needed.
The current input reference format (Reference mode) and video format (Video mode) that the switcher is operating in are shown on the Main Menu. The status of the reference signal is shown by the color of the Reference mode text.
- White — reference signal is locked and good.
- Yellow — reference signal has been lost or can't lock for less than 10 seconds.
- Red — reference signal has been lost or can't lock for more than 10 seconds.
